    If an organism has 20 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic (body) cells, how many chromosomes are present in their gametes (sex cells)?
    10 chromosomes
    40 chromosomes
    5 chromosomes
    20 chromososmes

  • Q14
    Which is the term for uncoiled /uncondensed DNA & protein in the cells nucleus?
    chromatin
    centromere
    chromatid
    chromosome
    20s
  • Q15
    What happens during meiosis I
    homologous chromosomes separate to produce haploid cells
    sister chromatids separate so each daughter cell has one copy of the DNA
    all of the above
    4 unique daughter cells are produced
